This
interactive
workshop explores the transformative value of the visual arts in healthcare training.
Participants delve into current research and engage in hands-on activities
designed to demonstrate how the arts can benefit both clinicians and their
patients. The session showcases successful programmatic examples and
emphasizes the development of vital skills and competencies—including
communication, observation, teambuilding, and leadership—that can be fostered
through thoughtful engagement with works of art. Join us to discover practical
strategies for integrating the arts into healthcare education and practice.
